Bokonon wrote these final words.

If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would climb to the top of Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who.
It's all fun and games until the flying monkeys attack.

I read it.
But I already knew.

It's a sad day. One of my favorites.

Yep. One of my HS friends posted about it early this AM in her blog. She is probably the most well-read person I know...her dad was our HS English teacher (PhD...teaching HS. Dude was brilliant and a very good teacher, too). She's pretty sad today. I haven't read enough Vonnegut to feel as saddened as I probably should.

Weird. As it happened. As it was meant to happen. I just reread Cat's Cradle. I finished it Sunday.

Weird.
